Miami moves ahead of FSU into No. 2 BCS spot

''Good,'' Miami coach Butch Davis said Monday. ''The world is as it should be.''

Oklahoma (9-0), with its come-from-behind 35-31 victory over Texas A&M, remained first in the standings that determine who plays in a national title game, while Florida State (10-1) fell to third after a less-than-dominating 35-6 win over Wake Forest (1-8).

Miami (8-1), with its 35-7 victory over Pittsburgh (5-4), moved ahead of Florida State by .48 points, thanks to the Seminoles' drop in the strength-of-schedule category and the Hurricanes' improvement in the computer ratings. The Seminoles had a .39-point edge last week.

For two weeks, Oklahoma, Miami and Florida State were 1-2-3 in the AP media poll and the USA Today/ESPN coaches polls. Last week, there was much debate over why the Seminoles were ahead of the Hurricanes in the BCS standings, despite Florida State's 27-24 loss to Miami on Oct. 7.

More changes are coming next week after Florida (9-1), fourth in the BCS standings, plays at Florida State Saturday.

Florida State coach Bobby Bowden is just going with the flow until the final standings.

''We've still got our work cut out for us, but most of the teams left have games to play as well,'' Bowden said. ''Like I said, I'll be a fan of the BCS until it lets us down, and then I'll have to rethink my allegiance.''

The teams that finish 1-2 in the final BCS standings released Dec. 3 will play in a national title game in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3. The standings are based on a formula that incorporates the AP poll plus the coaches' poll, eight computer rankings, schedule strength and number of losses.
